by Samuel Rawet

Called the 'pioneer of Brazilian-Jewish writing' starting with a 1957 volume, Rawet (1929-84) until now has had only two of his short stories translated into English. Vieira has chosen 12 stories from four collections and excellently conveys Rawet's dense, hermetic, and often elliptical style.
